TONE-PT (Tone Generator)
NOTE:
Replacing the IPSI circuit pack requires a special procedure which is
described in ‘‘TONE-BD (Tone-Clock Circuit Pack)’’ on page 8-1173. That
section also describes the LED display for this board.
The tone generator resides on the IPSI circuit pack and provides all system tones
such as dial tone, busy tone, and so on. If an active tone generator fails, its port
network may not have tones (see the ‘‘Tone Generator Transmission Test (#40)’’
on page 8-1190. For instance, a user may go off-hook and hear no dial tone.
This problem will affect only users on the same port network where the faulty IPSI
circuit pack resides. The system will be able to process certain type of calls (that
is, internal calls will succeed while outgoing calls will not).
The IPSI circuit pack also provides the clocks for the system and can serve as the
synchronization reference. Therefore, when resolving alarms on the IPSI circuit
pack, use the ‘‘TDM-CLK (TDM Bus Clock)’’, ‘‘SYNC (Port-Network
Synchronization)’’, and ‘‘TONE-BD (Tone-Clock Circuit Pack)’’ maintenance
documentation.
